<p>The format string consists of ordinary characters (except <code><b>%</b></code>), which are copied unchanged into the output stream, and conversion specifications. Each conversion specification has the following format:

<li> <code><b>-</b></code>: the result of the conversion is left-justified within the field (by default it is right-justified)
</li>
<li> <code><b>+</b></code>: the sign of signed conversions is always prepended to the result of the conversion (by default the result is preceded by minus only when it is negative)
</li>
<li> <i>space</i>: if the result of a signed conversion does not start with a sign character, or is empty, space is prepended to the result. It is ignored if <code>+</code> flag is present.
</li>
<li> <code><b>#</b></code> : <i>alternative form</i> of the conversion is performed. See the table below for exact effects.
</li>
<li> <code><b>0</b></code> : for integer and floating point number conversions, leading zeros are used to pad the field instead of <i>space</i> characters. For floating point numbers it is ignored if the precision is explicitly specified. For other conversions using this flag results in undefined behavior.
